Any person who wishes to engage in the business of installing or altering electrical wiring or equipment in the City shall register with the City Clerk. Upon the posting of a two thousand five hundred dollar {$2,500) bond, to be approved by the City Clerk, and upon the filing of an application in a form prescribed by the Electrical Commission, and upon the payment of a registration fee of fifteen dollars ($15.00), payable annually, and upon approval by the Electrical Commission, the Electrical Inspector shall register the applicant as an electrical contractor and shall cause to be issued to the applicant a certificate of registration authorizing the applicant to engage in such business for the fiscal year in which it is issued. If, in the opinion of the Electrical Inspector, any registered electrical contractor has willfully or repeatedly violated any of the provisions of this chapter, including the Electrical Code adopted in Section 1424.01, the Electrical Inspector shall prefer charges against such offender to the Electrical Commission, which Commission shall immediately meet and conduct a hearing, at which time the Electrical Inspector may be present and present evidence, but he shall not be permitted to vote or to take part in any decision. If found guilty by a majority vote, the registration of such electrical contractor shall be revoked and any unexpired registration fee shall be retained by the City as its liquidated damages. The City Clerk shall keep an accurate record of such registrations.
